6 – Try Something New

Get out of your comfort zone. Enjoy a new attraction, show, drink, or photo-op you’ve had on your theme park bucket list for a while.

7 – Bring Distractions

Bring books, magazines, your phone, a great podcast episode, or a great conversation starter to have with another theme park fan in line. Having some type of distraction helps ease the edge off of being alone.

Also consider having a solo travel journal on hand for your adventure!

17 – Take Advantage of the Single Rider Line

This line can cut your wait time in half and that’s always a benefit of going to theme parks alone. It allows you to get around to many of the attractions quickly, because you don’t have to wait in the normal ride line.

Be aware that on busy days if the regular line is long, then there’s a chance the single rider line may be long as well.

I’m so happy I was able to help. Canada’s Wonderland is on my theme park bucket list. It looks absolutely amazing! I hope you have a great trip and please let me know how it goes whenever you make that solo journey 🙂

This is just the article I was looking for. 2018 was a good year, but I didn’t take a vacation because I was too busy waiting on other people to go with 🙄. Nw I am planning a trip to Florida to hit up Seaworld and Busch Gardens, as well as Los Angels to hit up the infamous Magic Mountain. I will be vlogging the experience on my YouTube channel, Coragee. Thanks for the encouragement!

Oh wow! I’m soooo happy that you’re taking the leap and doing a theme park vacation solo…insert my happy dance, lol!
You’re going to have a blast and if you need any additional help with planning just hit me up.
I can’t wait to see all of your adventures on your YouTube channel 🙂

As a coaster/ amusenent park enthusiast this dosnt seem like a bad idea. And since being an enthusiast i feel like it would be less weird to go to an amusement park alone. On the flip side however would be the by yoyrself part. I dont want it to look like im isolating myself espesialy since im a lone wolf who isnt the most socialble person out there.

The good thing about the theme parks, especially the ones in Florida, is that everyone is usually in a really good mood. I mean, who could be sad at a place like Walt Disney World.

Plus, no one ever notices that I’m alone when I go. Usually everyone is deep into jumping from ride to ride or trying to get a last minute seat at a popular show or parade.

You will definitely not feel alone or isolated.

To help alleviate the anxiety, I always recommend having somewhat of a plan of the rides you want to enjoy that way you’re not constantly thinking about being there alone. I also recommend maybe starting out small at a local amusement park for about an hour or two just to see if you like going by yourself.

You may come to really enjoy it and want to do a whole day alone.

I also love having my favorite Disney Pandora station or my favorite theme park podcast playing in my ears.
